Rays Highlights on Raysbaseball

So... this morning our VP of Operations is coming to our Largo facility to announce that our office/warehouse is being closed and relocated 80 miles away.  He is bringing with him the Director of East Coast Operations who hails from Boston.

I have an EASY Button that I hacked in order to be able to record my own "That Was Easy" message. 

Naturally, since I'm about to be canned and the person who will be doing it is a die-hard Red Sux fan, I figured I would record Dwayne Staats' call on Dan Johnson's homer last night and play it over and over for him.  I went to Raysbaseball and clicked on the link to watch the "homer heard 'round the Rays Republic" only to hear a depressed Red Sux announcer calling the shot.  How am I supposed to make it through my day unless I can watch replays of DJ's homer being called the way it was meant to be?!?!

A travesty!  MLB.com needs to get there act together and only post videos containing the call from the team whose site you are on's broadcast.  Now I have to hear whining Red Sux announcers AND whining Red Sux fans!!!

Ugh!!!

It doesn't help you out...

But I like hearing the opposing announcers. Hearing the sadness in their voice gives me joy…especially when we play the White Sox.

Good luck to you.

Florida is a mess right now with an increase in unemployment from June to July of 108,000 jobs. Parts of this state are over double digits with others getting closer by the month. Enjoy the Rays and make sure to tell that Cocksucker whatfor and to enjoy his own raise as the Sox get beaten like a mule in the playoffs.

Be who you are and say what you feel, because those who mind don't matter, and those who matter don't mind.

I meant to post this link since you aren't going to hear your traditional media mention this about the economy

Not Meant as a Sob Story

The first part of the post was meant as a set-up for how the highlights should be geared towards the team whose site it appears on. That way, if we want to hear the Red Sux announcers call the shot, all I have to do is go to the Red Sux home page.
